The interior of this luxury hotel is designed on a grand scale. One of the most historic and renowned interior spaces is The Gallery, which is comprised of a 132-foot long, 26 1/2-foot high domain which was inspired by the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, lined on either side with 17th Century Flemish choir stalls. |

The rooms were created specifically with the comfort of the guest in mind. Each room is individually designed, incorporating classic Irish furnishings and historically-inspired artwork. With tradition still in tact, the Manor maintains modern comforts such as plush bedding, marble en-suite bathrooms and beautiful views from every window. You will feel as if you are a guest in the Dunraven’s own home circa the early 1800’s, with a fantastic goose down bed, of course. |
